Obviously: don't do that.

Obviously: don't do that. Windows is not a POSIX OS, using any POSIX-specific
feature is obviously a mistake. Cygwin tries to add a POSIX-compatibility layer
onto Windows - it is not useful here. LMDB on Windows works using native WIN32
APIs. Glue layers like Cygwin or MSYS2 shims do more harm than good here.
